This is a tragedy to Mrs- ( opeland, but whether council will consider it as such is another question. I notice that Walhal'a has pass ed a low prohibiting dogs on city streets unless muzzled, collared and inoculated.

A dam R OUT OF REALM A subscriber expresses the opin ion that too many preachers are getting' out of their proper realm and are trying to impose the.r opinions in places beyond their proper category. The subscriber had in mind, in particular, the sit uation in Mississippi. Of course the National Council of Churches which is made up of preachers) is forever sticking its nose into things that are far from the spiritual realm, such as advo cating federal aid to education; advocating admission of Red China to the United Nations and on many other subjects of similar nature. Just where the spiritual enters into federal aid for educa tion, I don’t understand. Just why the NCC wishes godless Red China in the United Nations is hard for anyone to understand. It has been my observation that preachers do often get into the act when it isn’t necessary, and more often stay out when it should lie necessary- I would like, for in stance, to hear more preachers emphasize individual responsibil ity, responsibility of the Christian to his fellowman, rather than re liance on government welfare pro grams. I would like to hear preachers more often, more emphatically, stress the menace of Communism. This, certainly, is -within the min isterial realm, since Communism is atheistic and has as one of its goals the destruction of Christian ity. More important, the time has come for preachers to forget their sophistication and get back down to preaching the Gospel. Their purpose in life is supposedly the winning of souls. Many seem to find time to do everything else but this particular job. As to the Mississippi business, our preacher told his Sunday School class Sunday that actions should only be taken on sound principle. Am I to believe that the action taken by the Supreme Court in May 1954 was based on sound principle, therefore I must obey it? The decision on that fateful Monday was not based on law; nor was it based on precedent. It was based on the ramblings of a Swedish sociologist who had spent a year or so in this country —thereby becoming an authority on sociological affairs of this country—more so than those of us who have lived here. This ,to me, was not sound prin ciple on which the highest court in the land should act. It was an af front to the people of the South and, I would guess it if the people were allowed to vote, it would be determined an affront to the peo ple of the whole nation. Further, the decision was based on the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, which any Constitu tional lawyer will tell you was never legally adopted. It is a bitter, disturbing situa tion. And only when we get men of Integrity into the Congress will the problem be solved. • , .;•(>;:(} ye . vxpc’i.-t*. \Y •- ;• \ . :md 1 .I k( t 11 our mwM-y tukv a ;* .5* ;:K( that vursc'lvc> . ITS FITTING It was fitting for City Council to proclaim next Wednesday as “BRly O’Deir Day. Billy has done a fine job for the Giants and has 1 rought much puhlcity to New berry.

Information gained by these surveys will also be used to determine if additional equipment will be required to handle the new annexation. The present landfill has about run its course. The city will have to start using the old dumping area in about six weeks. Mr. Halfacre has his men busy painting all curbs and traffic lines through out the city. Some of the streets may have tc be closed temporar ily; however, this will be kept to a minimum. Driveways on Montgom ery street will be repaired as soon as street painting has been com pleted. The contractor should fin ish the sewer extension some time next week, weather permitting. Chief Dowd is presently making some traffic studies around the school areas. Since hiring the me ter maid, a patrolman has been assigned to the Boundary school area during school rush hours. A count is being made to determine the number of collection boxes that would be required to service the present parking meters. Considerable damage has been done to the building and play equipment at the Marion Davis playground by person or person unknown. A concentrated effort will be made not to let this happen in the future. Mr. Fuller’s method of operation deserves a great deal of praise for his efforts. All department heads want and are doing a good job. They are open to suggestion and show a keen desire to improve their area of responsibility. IPs iSSiiSSS MRS.
